According to the SVG spec, yes, any namespaced attributes or elements can be used anywhere. http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/extend.html > "Attribute "sodipodi:version" is not a valid attribute" > > Why?

I suspect the reason for the discrepency is because the W3C validator uses DTD based validation, which has inherent limitations in it's ability to express conformance requirements when namespaces and prefixes are involved. i.e. There's no way to express in a DTD that any element or attribute with any unknown prefix in any namespace is allowed. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
